Fortunately or unfortunately, Smeargle is part of a family of one member, so it does not have evolutions, although it does have a version shiny.

Smeargle moves

Smeargle is a very light Pokémon, weighing 58 kilos, and with a more defensive than offensive balance, although with a lot of resistance. Before determining which are the best Pokémon against him, you have to know well what they are the movements you can have:

• Fast movement: Tackle (Normal)
• Charged movement: Combat (Normal)

His best combination of attacks for combat is first Lock and then Combat. However, he can learn any attack by being a Normal type.
